1 Corinthians 11:7

For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

Weymouth NT (1912)

In The King James Version

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

In Context

8Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
